Chris Christie

Age:

47

Occupation:

Fire Fighter/Photographer

Home Town:

Squamish, British Columbia, Canada

Living on the West Coast of British Columbia Chris started his water exploits kayaking in the steep rivers and canyons. The incredible landscape of the west coast gives up incredible experiences and Chris pursued an adventure lifestyle as an athlete and photographer in climbing, Skiing, and mountain biking.

With SUP rapidly growing he transitioned from the mountains back into the waters, rivers and oceans surrounding the West Coast. His hometown is located in the Southern Most Fjord in North America where long epic Sup circuits are always a mental and physical challenge. The strong summer winds give amazing downwind opportunities and the rivers run fast and steep.

The cold surf on the shores of British Columbia give incredible variety to paddle sport exploration and Chris has been part of a number of long sup expeditions taking him to places such as Vancouver Island, Bella Coola River to the outer coast and also the Great Bear Rain Forest.
